check engine and trac go hand in hand sharing inputs, so the trac light comes on because it will no longer accept a possible wrong input.

go get an OBDII scan for it. it could be anything

I had the same issue on my car literally the day before I took it for maintenance. I left the car off in the driveway overnight and came back to it off in the morning on my way to my appointment. Dealership didn't say anything about it or if they found anything.

good point, it might go away on its own. you could try disconnecting the battery for ~5 min to reset the ecu and see if the cel comes back
